Wicked Shores (Sinful Escapes #2)
Some island getaways come with cocktails. This one comes with handcuffs, secrets, and a marriage neither of them planned.
Liv Bennett is a chaotic, sunshine-bright single mom and elementary school teacher who hasn’t had a real vacation in years. When her best friend bails at the last minute, Liv ends up sharing a luxury suite at the exclusive “no vanilla allowed” resort Wicked Shores with the last person she expected: Damien Cross.
Damien is quiet, intense, and carrying more baggage than a cruise liner. He’s convinced he’s too broken for love, too dangerous for a woman like Liv, and definitely not husband material. But one drunken gameshow later, they wake up legally married with matching plastic rings and a very real certificate.
What starts as a week-long “experiment” quickly spirals into something neither of them can walk away from. Between primal chases on moonlit beaches, power struggles in the private playroom, and late-night confessions that strip them both bare, Liv and Damien discover they fit in ways they never expected — in bed and out of it.
She wants to be taken apart. He wants to be owned. Together, they might just heal the parts of each other they thought were beyond saving.

Accidental (but very real) marriageFriends-to-lovers with a twistIntense power exchange, pegging, primal play, and throat-fuckingA protective, morally gray hero who’s secretly a submissiveA sunshine heroine discovering she loves being in chargeFound family chaos Perfect for fans of dark romance with heart, humor, and plenty of bite.
